Chapter 282 : Moving
Chapter 282 - Moving
Ye Sheng thought moving would be troublesome, but it was clear she had over-thought it.
All that was needed was to pack important items; furniture and the like didn't need to be moved at all. This property in the outer city could serve as a backup 'stronghold,' convenient for staying a few days on a whim in the future.
Ye Sheng didn't visit the house in the inner city before, instead moving in directly with Gu Luoyu... Compared to the house of over 100 square meters in the outer city, the house in the inner city was ridiculously large.
Roughly estimated, it was at least a 500 square meter flat, enough to house Ye Heiya even if it doubled in size.
The furniture was also fully equipped, with an overall simple style. Ye Sheng curiously observed it closely, noticing the furniture was very new, likely moved in recently.
“Wow, this place is really so big! This room is bigger than our old living room...”
After looking at the furniture for only a moment, Ye Sheng couldn't help but start exploring. If nothing else, the large bed in the bedroom alone greatly pleases her.
A big bed was good, it allowed for rolling around.
heh heh heh~
Upon seeing the custom-sized large bed, Ye Sheng subconsciously had a lewd thought. Perhaps when people become perverted, they become exceptionally guilty; she stealthily glanced at Gu Luoyu.
Seeing that she was still some distance away, she finally relaxed... However, Ye Sheng forgot about the special nature of espers, let alone a powerful esper like Gu Luoyu, who could use her psychic power to 'see' everything around her.
So Ye Sheng's sneaky demeanor and movements had long been seen by Gu Luoyu. She only pretended not to notice to avoid making Ye Sheng embarrassed, instead giving a doting smile that made the Ye Heiya beside him shivering.
It secretly sneaked away from Gu Luoyu. This master had always treated it with indifference, so suddenly smiling like this was very scary!!!
Quickly taking and fleeing, Ye Heiya quickly bounced away and went to the balcony to sunbathe.
...
After moving to the inner city, Ye Sheng found everything novel, so she took Gu Luoyu around to explore... Cute little ornaments, buy! Delicious snacks, buy! Strange-shaped pollution creature specimens... um, let's skip this one!
In short, after browsing for three to four days like this, Ye Sheng finally had her fill.
During this time, Gu Luoyu didn't show any signs of annoying and patiently accompanying Ye Sheng, shocking people who were paying attention. They never expected Erensu to treat her partner with such affection!
That's right, as soon as the news of Erensu's return to the base spread, it immediately attracted strong attention from all parties.
Especially after learning that the long-lost Erensu was powerful enough to single-handedly kill an S+ class pollution creature, they were even more wary, fearing that this god of slaughter might go on a killing spree in the base one day out of boredom.
It was exactly because they knew Erensu's unpredictable nature that none of the major families in the base wanted to win her over.
After all, it wasn't as if no one had tried before, and the outcome was always being brutally killed by Erensu... To the point where, during that period, a joking saying circulated in the circles: 'Don't go near Erensu, you'll become unfortunate.'
However, no one expected that Erensu, who killed anyone she met, would now be so gentle and caring towards her partner, completely unlike her appearance.
If it weren't for the base officials to confirm her identity, they would never have believed it.
However, to be able to tame the vicious dog Erensu, this woman named Ye Sheng was probably no pushover either.
It's just a pity that there is very little information about Ye Sheng in the base. All they know is that she is an 'underling' who moved into the base from the mitigation zone, with very bad luck, always encountering unexpected situations when going out to the wilderness to complete missions.
But to be able to become Erensu's partner, it's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad luck.
Besides observing in secret, the major families, upon learning that Erensu was participating in the ocean exploration plan, immediately became eager, with those who had not been optimistic about this action now eagerly trying to insert their people into it.
They hoped to follow behind Erensu, and even if they couldn't get any meat, they could at least get some hot soup.
However, while the major families were thinking of getting a piece of the pie, the base officials disagreed, refusing to budge. After all, who would willingly give away a delicious meal that was already in their grasp!
Unfortunately, in the end, the major families joined forces to exert pressure, forcing the base officials to relax the conditions and release six spots, allowing the major families to decide the candidates themselves.
Although Erensu's participation greatly increased the success rate of this exploration, Erensu was not a philanthropist; she wouldn't even bat an eye if the accompanying personnel died in front of her.
Therefore, if one participates in the action, they have to be prepared for an extremely high mortality rate... Some families who care about their consequences ultimately withdraw from the competition helplessly.
What remained were the top families dividing the six spots.
Large families had numerous branches; Even if a few direct descendants died, it wouldn't matter. Wealth was sought in danger; large families stand tall not by luck, but by blood and life.
“What? Add six people? No!”
After the major families successfully got their people in, the basis began to argue. The official in charge of the ocean exploration operation absolutely refused. It was just a trial, and the fewer people, the better.
Even if it was just six more people, the team would suddenly become more than twenty people. Coupled with the people sent by the Black Spring Freemasonry, it wouldn't look like a mission, but more like a picnic!
Not to mention the dangers in the ocean, the pollution creatures encountered on the way were enough to deal with. Adding people was absolutely not allowed!
“It has to be now, even if it's not possible. Xiao Jiang, you need to understand the difficulties from above. If you don't agree, the major families will make trouble. For the peace of the base, sometimes you have to turn a blind eye... This action has Erensu... that is, Gu Luoyu participating, which greatly reduces the danger. Adding a few more people won't hurt.”
“I still disagree. This operation was agreed to be handled by me entirely, so why has it suddenly changed?”
Jiang Sheng stubbornly disagreed, but in the end, he had to bow his head and finally agreed to add people to this operation. However, he also made a request, hoping that Gu Luoyu would become the captain of this ocean exploration operation!
If it wasn't for his lack of skill and his immersion in marine research, Jiang Sheng would definitely have accompanied the team instead of staying at the base to plan the operation... To ensure the success of the operation, appointing Gu Luoyu as the leader could eliminate most of the trouble.
The base officials were also very troubled by Jiang Sheng's stubbornness, so they could only send Dr. Na Nali from the research institute to visit and extend the invitation to Gu Luoyu to be the captain.
What a pity...
“Captain? I won't be.”
